Update, it's not just our servers, it's our whole hosing provider that's being attacked. Just got an email from them last night.
They are upgrading their networking now to prevent less downtime.

The pool communication issue seems to be MASSIVE spikes in network traffic. Enough to flood the available bandwidth (and we have WAY more than needed for a 2+ TH pool).
Why anyone would syn flood our small pool is beyond me, but the logs and iftop show just that.

Might see a few connection drops while I clean out the database... clearing out old hashrates is time consuming.
Nothing in the logs, and the only issues that I have noticed is the litecoin network attacks hogging up processor cycles.
I'm keeping an eye on it though.
UPDATE: Restarted the pool server, should be back shortly.

Been getting quite a few of these. pool 0 being simplecoin. Anything going on?

Lost the motherboard in my main miner.... Looks like that new 7970 has to wait a few weeks
FINALLY!!
no offense to the pure LTC miners but i really don't like seeing them in the TOP 30 hashers 
Must...reclaim...hashes!
We're dying on this one.
I know. its been 14 days since our last block. We're dying on this one.
Sadly, I think part of the issue was the BIP6 client breaking our wallet and blockchain. I'm fairly certain that possible generations were lost by the client bugging out. That said, everything is back as it should be and hopefully we will have a block soon.
I was hoping to come back from my vacation and see some blocks, but it looks like my bad luck on vacation carried over here as well.

rjk - maybe your Mining rig extraordinaire could point to simplecoin for a while

Ah I see . Hate it when that happens.

. My Farm has been down for too long. That's what i get for going on vacation. I should have it back up today.
That's what you get for not configuring backup pools.

6.0rc3 with BIP30 support is now live
IS simplecoin planning on upgrading to bip30 anytime soon https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/security-update-duplicate-transaction-vulnerability-fix-67738 ? not really sure if it makes a difference for our size but going forward it should help i guess.
We are currently on the latest client 6.0rc2 and will continue to support the latest and majority bitcoin protocol.
I'm currently writing a custom *coin server, as psj/pushpool development seems to have stopped.
Shows how much i know
. That sounds awesome. Again, thanks for all your hard work.
